I am sending the manuscripts with sheets of notes on yours (you have an unconscionably long piece. Im-pos-si-ble...) and with abridgements by Varinsky (he gave permission to abridge the "non-military paragraphs" and general discussions. In my opinion, his should be cut even further).

It turns out, it seems, to be something immeasurable. This is dreadful. I don't know what to do. And it is necessary to write still on opportunism (I have 1/2 ready), on defeatism and on Trotskyism (including the Duma faction + R.S.D.).333

Calculate as soon as possible and as accurately as you can how much material we already have.

The Italian clippings I seem to have returned to you. If not, then I left them in Zurich—I won't be able to get them before returning.

Regarding Bukharin and Co., one ought to send a confidential letter from the editorial office of Ts.O. to the groups (+ Radek??) about its refusal (since otherwise Bukharin and Co. are already openly "tearing it apart"). Or should we wait a week? And if Radek wants to have "our" exposition, let him send you theirs.
